I had a problem with a scratched disc as well, it wasn't halo2, it was NFS Most Wanted, also it wasn't for the 360, but i did bring it in to a local video game shop, the owner has a disc cleaner there, took like 5 min, went home and tried it, works like almost new again.

The disc buffers at gamer stores and video rentals work really well.


My 360 hasn't scratched any of my games. Make sure to never move your 360 while it's on.. that can butcher them.

I have had the same problem with my halo, its scratched anyway, and one time when i was playing rainbow six i moved my 360 by accident and the disk slipped out, it scratched badly, but will the disk slipping out affect my 360 at all?

A disk buffer (scratch cleaner as you call it) only really cleans the disc. The reason that they're not a very good investment, is because when you get a scratched disc, if its deep enough to be cutting into the encoded layer of the disc, then a cleaning would not do any good at all, seeing as the disc cleaner cannot rewrite those pits and divots(sp?) that the laser reads.

If it is not all the way down to that layer, which there is no real way to tell unless you get it cleaned, then the buffer removes any rough edges on the scratch (not visible to the eye) and makes it so that the laser can still penetrate down to the recorded layer.

All that said, there's no real way to know for sure how deep the scratch is until you run it through the machine, so I would encourage you to go to a video game store that sells used games and ask them to run it through thier machine.
